Remarks visiting Cornwall (French supplying Exocets to Argentina)

Document type: Speeches, interviews, etc.
Venue: Cornwall
Source: BBC Radio News Report 1300 19 November 1982
Journalist: Tim Maby, BBC
Editorial comments: Available on CD-ROM only. MT was interviewed during the morning, having flown to Culdrose at 0930. There is additional material in the West Briton and Royal Cornwall Gazette, 25 November 1982, which concentrated its coverage on MT’s visit to a training centre for the mentally-handicapped at Redruth (1000-1100). Moved by what she had seen, MT told the paper "I have enjoyed my visit. It is a wonderful place with wonderful staff and all those I have seen are so happy. There is a marvellous atmosphere. It was worthwhile coming to Cornwall for this alone".
